What is Reddit's opinion of Average Is Over: Powering America Beyond the Age of the Great Stagnation?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

All I know about the guy is that portions of his article on video games (https://quillette.com/2018/12/14/video-games-and-the-male-meaning-of-life/) look lifted from this earlier article by Peter Suderman: https://reason.com/archives/2017/06/13/young-men-are-playing-video-ga.

For example, Suderman:

>"Every society has a 'bad men' problem," says Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University. Cowen's 2013 book Average Is Over envisions a future in which high-productivity individuals create the vast majority of society's economic value, while lower-skilled individuals spend their days on increasingly inexpensive entertainment that helps order their lives and allow for a baseline level of daily happiness. Hurt's research suggests that we may be witnessing the beginnings of that world already.

Yang:

>“Every society has a ‘bad men’ problem,” says Tyler Cowen, the economist and author of <em>Average is Over</em>. He projects a future where a relative handful of high-productivity individuals create most of the value, while low-skilled people become preoccupied with cheap digital entertainment to stay happy and organize their lives.
